The Black Hills produce the two
wonderful curiOsities of the century.
They belong to the burglar, or tramp,
species. and are willing to make affidavit
to the fact that they were born in Amer
lea. but their mother never was in this
country.
These two men were convicted at Gus

After eX-GOv. PIERCE has extracted
all the advertising possible out of the
Grand Forks prOfessorship, he proudly
points to the appointment of another
man as proof that he had no such motives
In heavens name what has that to do
